I've been keeping track of the length articles on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Short_popular_vital_articles every six months for the past six years. It's great news in that improvements as measured by byte count and controlled for maintenance templates has been growing at a constant rate, basically four bytes per day. I've never published anything on it and don't plan to, hoping that someone who can use the academic publication credit will some day. Plotting ORES scores over time is easy now, and should make it sufficiently interesting to journal editors. My favorite article on the topic is https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/asi.23687 It has a lot of citing articles: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&lr&cites=13904159020044435588 > Also, has anyone mapped comparative topic coverage for different languages? Yes, e.g. https://fenix.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/downloadFile/395144380424/popculture-paper.pdf Best regards, Jim _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
